Its origin dates back to the early 1990s when Microsoft developed this typography using different characters from a family of symbols that Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes had designed between 1990 and 1991 for their Lucida typography. The original fonts were named Lucida Icons, Lucida Arrows and Lucida Stars until they were renamed, reorganized and released under the name of Microsoft Wingdings along with the Windows 3.1 operating system in 1992. Type Solutions was the creator of the tools necessary for the hinting of the typography, that is the reason why in certain versions it appears its name also in the copyright. The Wingdings font family was also extended with two newer versions, Wingding 2 and Wingdings 3, which provided a wider range of symbols and icons. It includes graphics of all kinds, from computer icons of folders, files, mail, printer or mouse, even religion, astrology, interface, ornaments, etc.

WD Gaster to English

This typography even has a club of enthusiasts (the Wingdings Club, at the University of Michigan) where it is intended to propagate the “Wingdings language”. Also, it is believed that the name of the character W.D. Gaster from the video game Undertale refers to the font “Wing Dings” Gaster, as that is what Gaster speaks in. His dialogs throughout the game are spelled in Wingdings language, so you could use the Wingdings Converter to translate his speech into English.
